 * Delete as per WP:HOAX. I tried searching for literally any sources about this alleged massacre but the only link I found was to this article therefore, it seems, the content is completely unverifiable and probably original research making it seem like a hoax.

 * Delete – a hoax. There isn't even a place called Campton, Alberta. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 15:04, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Declined. TPH, please stop it. You know as well as I do that hoax isn't a speedy criteria, and that speedy-tagging articles when they're at AfD is inherently disruptive. – iride  scent  15:13, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, Hoax. --Anna Lincoln (talk) 15:21, 10 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete. There does seem to have been a Canadian TV show dealing with Windigo activities in or around Fort Kent, Alberta, but the details in it (at least as it is described in forums and such elsewhere on the Web) seem to have differed considerably from the story told here. I can find absolutely no reliable sources to back up this article, either as a true report or as a variant of some modern legend, so we have a failure of WP:V. Deor (talk) 16:36, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete hoax. No sources show that this ever happened. Heck, there doesn't even seem to be a town called Campton, Alberta. Don't write nonsense because you're bored. Hoaxes don't meet Speedy Delete criteria, although they really should be. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook
 * Delete Obvious hoax. Wish it was speediable. Edward321 (talk) 01:15, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
